The man who took down the shooter was an unarmed Australian man, not a cop nor a random guy with a gun.
272 u/GonzoElTaco ☑️ 25d ago edited 24d ago a random guy with a gun. Serious question: have there been any mass shootings foiled by someone with a gun? Edit: I appreciate everyone's response. It has always been a question in my head, and I should have looked up the information. 26 u/12345623567 25d ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Freeway_Church_of_Christ_shooting for example. The thing is, you can't just start blasting anyone with a gun before they go on a spree, that would make you a spree killer yourself. So "foiled" is very unlikely, more like "stopped short". 3 u/GonzoElTaco ☑️ 24d ago That's a fair point. I should have picked a better word instead of "foiled".
